Blood mage Jack and Morrigan Miranda do not approve

Fan art by AndrewRyanArt of two Mass Effect characters done as if they were in Dragon Age. Jack is shown as an elf blood mage and Miranda is shown wearing an outfit very similar to Morrigan's from the first Dragon Age game

This article has some fun examples. www.notesfromthefrontier.com/post/frontie...

Screen snip from the linked article that reads:

So what language did cowboys, saloon patrons and garden-variety frontier pioneers use to express themselves profanely? You'd be surprised. They might say "I set to frumping him for a shanny," which meant I made fun of him as a fool. Accusing someone of "rumbumptuous monkey shines" meant they were trying to trick folks. Calling someone a "flannel-mouthed chiseling chuckleheaded gadabout coffee boiler" meant they were a no good, smooth-talking, dishonest, ignorant, jawflapping, lazy ass. A "rag-propered lickfingers" was an over-dressed ass-kisser.

Saloon vernacular was especially colorful. A "dabster lapper" of "rookus juice" was an exper whiskey drinker. Whiskey itself had more names than ants on a June bug: red eye, oh-be-joyful, scamper juice, family disturbance, tarantula juice, prairie juice, coffin varnish, clinch mountain, sheep dip, etc. Washy stingo was weak beer. Hoothouse blackwater was coffee.

Love the nails! Side note, whenever I hear/see someone say "It's time" my brain immediately conjures this Anthony Clark comic:

Black & white comic showing a man in bed. In the first four panels, a cat is peeking up from the side of the bed, climbing onto the bed, getting in the man's face, and finally laying on the man's face. In each of those first four panels, the cat is saying "It's time". In panel five, the man has a grumpy expression on his face and is holding the cat in front of him. The man asks, "It's time for what?" In the final panel, the cat replies, "Revolution."

This has been my go-to for years now. It's garlic, onion, black pepper, salt, celery salt, and white pepper...basically anything savory gets doused in the stuff lol

I wrote something specifically to analyze it with Panagram and it flagged it as 100% AI, so I wouldn't put too much confidence in its capabilities.

Screen grab from results of a Panagram analysis of a paragraph I wrote specifically for said analysis. The results declare that "100%" of the text was AI written, even though not a portion of it was.

Copilot has the added bonus of saying was scheduled to be released ~3 months ago

I see a lot of Interceptor answers in this thread, but the Interceptor *wishes* it could be as awesome as the TIE Baron. I mean, look at this thing; it's the Ace Rimmer to the Interceptor's Arnold J. The Interceptor is muttering "gaspacho" and dying as the Baron sky dives on an alligator.

I love how "AI" is somehow steadily getting worse while its evangelists keep insisting it's better than ever. I'm pretty sure that Google's "AI Overview" is wrong about something every single time now.

AI Overview from a search on my username, "teufelaffe". It reads:

"Teufelaffe" is a German word that translates to "Devil Ape" or "Devil Monkey." It is historically well-known as a moniker given to U.S. Marines by German soldiers during World War I due to their fierce combat capabilities, translating in English to "Devil Dogs."

Only the first sentence of that overview is correct; the second being entirely wrong as it's in reference to the word "Teufelhunden".

The worst part about having friends who live hundreds or thousands of miles away is that they will never get to pet my cat.

I don't care how much money was offered, the devs for 007 First Light should have told Jaguar "no thanks" to putting their Type 00 in the game. Look at this PS1-lookin monstrosity:

Blue Jaguar Type 00. The car is boxy and squat and looks like it's a low poly car from a 30 year-old video game. Cybertuck owners look at this thing and say "geez that looks awful." Looking at this car makes one believe that The Matrix is real and the asset failed to load.

They didn't completely hide the process with protective covers when the letters were installed, so it's not tinfoil hat or doomer to suggest that they're only doing it this time to hide his humiliation.

Every time I see this quote on the wall at work my eyes roll back into my head so hard that I'm blind for a couple of minutes. It's becoming a real problem.

So much of corporate "culture" is doing and saying things just so others see that you're doing and saying things. I'd be willing to bet that the amount of time and effort spent doing pointless work just so one can be seen "working" dwarfs actual substantive work by a few orders of magnitude. 1/2

Played the RE3 remake, & the moment I saw this on Jill's fridge, I had to have it. But, neither Capcom nor Etsy folks appear to make one for me to buy. So, I fired up Fusion & made a 3D-printed one. There're magnets embedded inside the model, so it's an actual fridge magnet! It's about 6" across

Snippet from a screenshot from the remake of Resident Evil 3. It shows a refrigerator magnet that is a stylized racoon face, in blue and black, with white eyes.

3D printed version of the racoon fridge magnet, that's a pretty accurate recreation, if I do say so myself.
